More a win for the past few weeks, but finally started blogging at my site thebouv.com and doing some cross-posting on LinkedIn and here on Dev.to.

20+ years in this industry; figured I can do some writing now. :D

Weird. I just checked, and I don't have any options near save changes. Just the save changes button itself.

Just near to save changes or Right to save changes there is small round icon. Click that you should see the options. :)

Installed Java 8 + Android SDK + Android Emulator only using Terminal and without installing Android Studio. That was a ride! The best: most of the commands were already researched by one of our assistants so it's not even my win but even with his shellscripts in place this still was a full-day hackathon to get it all installed correctly on my system ๐Ÿ™ˆ
